Oztoo - My Lensography

A week after I published my very first lens I was invited to join Rocketmoms. The third session was starting just a few days later so I decided to join up.

I have to say that I waited with some trepidation for that first assignment. Being so computer illiterate I wondered what I was getting into. Bonnie publishes the assignments on Sunday's around midnight. This means that in Oz I get them about 1 o clock on Monday afternoon.

Well it took me all week to complete that first assignment. Some of the other Rocketmoms finished theirs the next day. I thought I would never keep up. There were so many things I didn't know how to do. Even worse some of these ladies created other lenses at the same time. How the heck do they do it I wondered.

Suffice to say that as each week and each assignment went by I got a little better, a little quicker and a little bit more confident. I learned how to do things to make my lenses look more appealing (I hope), put affiliate links in, where to find free graphics and pictures and many other things.

I also learned that once you start researching your topic all sorts of ideas start to come to you. Things just start to pop up and you think "I could make a lens about that". I used to wonder how you could write so many lenses to become a Giant Squid or even why you would even want too. Now I know why.

It is addictive. It's also fun. And if you get stuck there's always someone to ask for advise. What better introduction could you have to creating your own space on the world wide web. Rocketmoms gives you that little bit of a push - a challenge - to stretch yourself just a little bit further than you thought you could go.

At time of writing I have just two assignments left before this session of Rocketmoms finishes. And I believe I'm going to miss it when it's all over.

Yippee, I've just graduated from session 3 of Rocketmom's with 9 lenses to my name.
